Chapter 464: Chapter 465: Really Didn’t Mean It

This video once again sparked a new round of discussion among netizens.

["I remember watching ’Burn, My Boy,’ where Wang Tao said Jinxia could really run. I didn’t believe it then, thinking it was just for show, but now I do."]

["Fat Emperor often exercises, and he’s got abs, so it’s normal the journalists can’t outrun him. They should let someone who specializes in running reality shows do the filming instead."]

["Crazy He Paopao, crazy journalists, crazy fans!"]

["Suddenly, I feel relieved He Jinxia wasn’t caught. There were thousands of people after all. What if she had been caught? How would we ensure the safety of stars and passersby? That reporter who called out is too despicable, doing anything for a scoop without considering the consequences."]

["I completely agree with the comment above!"]

["Agree +10000!"]

...

Because the video exploded while He Jinxia was still trending from her nomination in Berlin, this video gained popularity too, and the hashtag #HePaopao# was officially born.

Some media outlets that didn’t go to the airport racked their brains for news releases, and those who captured the video stood united, refusing to provide it free of charge to other outlets. If they wanted to use it, they had to pay, and the price was not low.

Media outlets that didn’t capture the footage felt helpless. Some paid for it, while others used the running videos uploaded by netizens, refusing to pay.

Meanwhile, some media outlets didn’t use the video and came up with innovative ways to report on the incident.

["Discussing the love and hate between He Jinxia and He Minqing: two trending searches, two collisions, an unending battle between the two!"]

["He Minqing’s desolate airport photos exposed, no media reporters interviewed her after she disembarked from the plane. Both at the airport, yet treated so differently!"]

["The untold story of He Jinxia and He Minqing: clashing film releases, overlapping press release timings, even their flight schedules collided!"]

...

Such reports surfaced one after another and were quite effective, prompting many content farms to push out this kind of news.

On the other side, He Jinxia and Cheng Xiaohua excitedly entered Tonghua Entertainment, using the security to block the throng of journalists and fans outside.

Just as they were about to enter the company’s large glass revolving door, some journalists shouted with all their might, "He Jinxia, what are your thoughts on being nominated for Berlin!"

He Jinxia paused, turned her head to look back, and smiled, "Thank you, I feel very honored."

The glass door opened, Cheng Xiaohua pulled He Jinxia inside, and the door closed behind them, firmly keeping the media journalists out.

He Jinxia looked at so many people outside and suddenly felt somewhat dazed.

The last time she saw so many journalists outside the glass door was when she ran into Sheng Yan.

At that time, her schedule was exposed, the media surrounded her, and Sheng Yan boldly stepped forward to help her out, drawing their fire and allowing her to leave swiftly.

They met inside Tonghua Entertainment, one outside and one inside.

He Jinxia still remembered how it was a sea of people outside the door back then, everyone holding phones and photography equipment, gazing fixedly at Sheng Yan with undisguised excitement and agitation.

Sheng Yan stood among the crowd, expressionless and as solid as a rock, the focus of everyone’s pursuit.

And now, she somewhat received the same treatment as Sheng Yan did back then.

This was in less than a year!

He Jinxia took a deep breath, turned her head, and walked forward with steady steps. She wasn’t in a hurry; one day, she too would be the center of everyone’s attention, just like Sheng Yan!

Luo You and Zhang Dayou were already at Tonghua Entertainment, having received a message from Cheng Xiaohua in advance and were waiting at the reception.

Upon seeing He Jinxia, they immediately came over and asked, "Are you alright?"

He Jinxia shook her head, smiling, "I’m fine. That bit of exercise is nothing to me, and the fans helped me out. Plus, Sister Xiao Hua was worried I might have an allergic reaction to pollen in Qingdu, so she prepared a lot of masks for me."

```

Luo You’s lips twitched slightly, and he suddenly remembered a netizen’s comment he had scrolled past earlier—

"Fat Emperor is a woman with abs!"

Yep, truly formidable!

It’s the peak of the flowering season in Qingdu at the end of the year, and the pollen and willow fluff are flying around, causing many visitors to fall victim to allergies.

Last year, several celebrities who visited Qingdu also suffered from this, and Cheng Xiaohua, worried that He Jinxia might be affected, prepared many masks. One new mask per day—better safe than sorry.

The masks proved their worth with a smooth retreat this time.

Luo You then turned to look at Cheng Xiaohua, who had bright eyes and a flushed complexion, radiating a healthy glow.

She excitedly said, "Hey, I only ran for less than half an hour; it’s not enough. If it weren’t for having run through the whole airport already, I could go on for another hour!"

Yep, she’s also a force to be reckoned with.

Luo You nearly forgot that Cheng Xiaohua was an assistant who was very skilled in various martial arts like Taekwondo and Judo. He had hired her, considering she could protect Jinxia.

Zhang Dayou laughed from the side, "You think reporters are cabbages, no, peas, and you guys are zombies playing Plants vs. Zombies! It’s great to get a dozen at you, and you still want to run for another half hour? Maybe in the future at the world’s largest airport in Shanghai, let’s see if you can finish running there in one hour."

Imperial City has several airports, and the one that He Jinxia and her group arrived at was not the largest, but the oldest with a somewhat confusing layout. It’s easy for those unfamiliar to get lost, but those who know their way around can get out quickly.

Luo You said, "It’s good that you’re fine. I have some things to discuss with you, let’s go to the conference room."

The group took the elevator, and He Jinxia suddenly thought of something, "Oh, Brother Luo, the reporters chasing me seemed to be there for He Minqing, right?"

Luo You’s expression turned a bit strange, "Yes, they were there because He Minqing tipped them off. Some reporters were even paid by He Minqing’s team to come."

He Jinxia felt a bit embarrassed, "All those reporters were led away by me. Tell you what, help me contact He Minqing. I’ll invite her for a meal to apologize."

She had no hostile relationship with He Minqing, and the situation had developed into this mess unexpectedly, leaving her feeling quite helpless.

With a "ding," the elevator doors opened, and Luo You stepped out first.

"Let’s see about that. You didn’t just steal the reporters, you also took her trending spot. Just five minutes before the company announced your Berlin nomination news, He Minqing had a gossip scoop about to trend."

He Jinxia’s lips twitched, "So?"

Luo You looked at her deeply, "You pushed her trend down the list."

He Jinxia: "...I didn’t mean to do it."

To express her sincerity, she repeated, "I really didn’t mean to do it."

Luo You spread his hands, "We all know you didn’t mean to, but He Minqing doesn’t think so, and there’s nothing we can do about it."

As they entered the conference room, Luo You suddenly changed tone, "The reason I asked you to come is to tell you some good news. Congratulations, Director Wilson’s new film has decided to invite you as the supporting actress!"

He Jinxia was stunned, "What?"

Luo You repeated the news.

He Jinxia’s eyes widened with a bewildered look that made her especially adorable. She pointed at herself, "Really, it’s settled on me? Wasn’t Director Wilson going to call to schedule another audition?"

Luo You nodded emphatically, smiling, "It’s really settled on you. Director Wilson said he saw how much you valued his film, and he also said he liked the ballet dance you did; he was very pleased."

After thinking for a bit, he added, "The director also mentioned the assistant incident, saying he was sorry about our previous encounter, and that he’s already fired that assistant."

He Jinxia’s lips curled up involuntarily, unable to hide her joy.
